This chart is a couple of days old, courtesy Phil Kerpen on Twitter, but tell me this isn’t vaccines. LTC deaths remain very low despite the vulnerability of this group after vaccination and despite Delta and despite the supposed case wave. Vaccination rates are extremely high in this group. At the peak, we had over 4 deaths per thousand LTC residents, now we are down to around .2 or less. Remarkable impact of vaccines.
